Twisted Fate of the Knight

Acting

'Then, check it now before you go home,' He said. I looked at Renz asking what we were going to do but he looked out the window since there was a shadow.

"D*mn," I cursed since we can't go out in the window so as in the door.

'Understood, Sir,' We heard outside the door so Renz and I both looked at the door when we heard the doorknob unlocked. I pulled him...

"Your Highness, pardon my rudeness. Can you close your eyes?" I said as I let him seated on the sofa, covered his eyes with my right hand before he closes his eyes. I sat on his lap as I changed back my hair but different color so as my eyes while stopping Renz to speak-out why I seated on his lap.

*creaks* sound of the door

"You dare to interrupt us?!" I shouted as I looked at the person who opens the door and he was surprised when he saw us since I was sitting on Renz's lap as I brought my face closer to Renz as if kissing him but not. I can't let him see Renz or else we're doomed if he happens to talk about this.

"I~Im sorry!" He said as he closes the door immediately so I immediately returned my fake hair and immediately stood up while fixing my clothes since I slightly loosen it a while ago.

"Your Highness, are you okay?" I said when I face him since he does not answer when I saw him stunned and stiffed since he didn't even move an inch when I stand up. I wave my hands in front of him as I called his name and only then did he react to me and look at me with an unreadable expression on his face.

~Renz's thoughts: F*ck, I was surprised when he pulled me to sit down on my lap as he covers my eyes before I could react. I was stunned by his action and I didn't think that he could do this kind of act. I even hold my breath when his face is so close to me while covering my eyes so I can't see his reactions since I can't move at that moment. However, I find it amusing and hot he was. I didn't notice that he stood up as he waves his hand in front of me so I turned my gaze to him because earlier as I blushed and I am thankful that it was dark that he can't see my face.~

"I am okay, but can you inform me ahead of time if you are going to act like that because I was so surprised," He said as he looks away from me that I should be because of what I did but why do I seem that he was ashamed of what I did earlier? 

"It can't be helped, your Highness but I'll keep that in mind," I said as I approached the door to know if the man who opened the door was still there since I can still hear footsteps.

'How can they do something like that here?' He commented as he left the door. So I sighed because he had left as well as that outside.

"Did he leave?" Renz asks me but near my ears so I almost screamed because I could feel his breath in my ear so I suddenly sit down before I faced him.

"Don't talk so near to me!" I said as I looked at him annoyed but he looked at me like its nothing to him.

"Well, that's not even half of what you've done earlier," He said as he smirks at me so I feel like my cheeks are red when I remember what I did earlier like a film that played in my mind when I looked like a seductive woman so I shook my head to forget that scene in my head.

"But, I save our butt's off, and I even hide your face so that no news about you that the 'Crown Prince is making out with a woman in the Hunt Ball' tomorrow so you should be thankful," I said as I looked at him while raising an eyebrow at me. 

"I should be thankful?" He repeated as he looked at me like it's nothing so I became, even more, annoyed with him.

"Yes, Your Highness," I said with confidence.

"Even though, you tarnish my purity?" He said with confidence as he smirks at me. Wait? what?! Purity?! I want to resent what he says. I looked at him with a disgusting look.

"What are you? a woman? your Highness?" I said.

"That hurts me, Avy. Even though I am a man, I can be pure, too," He said as he acts like he was stabbed in his heart while looking like I bullied him so I looked at him as if I don't care about him. 

"Yes, yes," I said as I looked at him uninterested before I opened the door and I peeked if someone out there or none. I called him when I'm sure that no one is around and fortunately we are close to the venue.

"Your Highness, faster. We need to get back at the venue," I said as I glared at him so he followed me. I let him in first before I went in and went in the other direction and I immediately approached Lady Miary as if nothing had happened earlier.

"Where is Ian?" I said as I face her since she was not with Ian.

"He went to Prince Renz when we saw him a while ago. By the way, are you okay?" She asks me with a worried face so I just nodded because I don't want the conversation to continue, especially since someone was watching us outside.

"Anyways, did something happened here?" I said since I feel like the atmosphere inside was different when we left.

"None aside from that the auction is going to start," She said as she looks in front that they are preparing the stage where they can showcase the stones.

"Can we go home now?" I said to her since I can't go home if she stays here so I looked at her as I begged her that we should leave.

"Don't look at me like that Avy. You're not cute," She said but she's blushing as she looks away. However, I didn't give up so I acted so cute in front of her with teary eyes so she sighed answering 'Fine, so stop that,' as she glared at me so I just smiled at her.

~Miary's thoughts: Geez, he is so cute as a puppy begging his owner to give him food. I can't resist when he was acting like this but letting him get what he wants.~~

"Before we leave, let's say goodbye to Prince Renz," She said as she walks towards Prince Renz and Ian because they entered from the balcony. I smiled a bitter smile as I nod to her since honestly, I don't want to see Renz's face because of what happened in that room. 

"Your Highness, we have to go, if you excuse us," Lady Miary said formally since we are in public as I bow also behind her.

"Alright. Take care, Lady Collins," He said to her as he looks at me as if he was saying that I will take care of her so I nodded in response. I also looked at Ian as he nods and smiled a little so I just smiled too.

We left after we said goodbye as I help her to get in her carriage before I followed her. "Did you encounter them when you get back His Highness?" She asks me as she looked outside.

"Yes, but we manage to escape," I said and I remember the incident I did earlier in that room with Renz flashing back to my brain so I feel that my mind is bright red as I look at the other window.

"I am glad that both of you didn't get hurt," She said so I looked at her and she was looking at me while smiling in relief.

"..." I didn't answer but I just smile but an assuring smile so she looked at me with a relief expression on her face. Our travel back to the Collins was quiet. I supported her when she got off the carriage and she thanked me before she let go of my hand.

"Have a good rest, Milady. Good night," I said as she just smiled at me before she turns around so I just watched her walk back until she had entered. When she already gets in, I borrow a horse for me to use since I don't want to get home while riding a sparky carriage.

I immediately get back to Ian's residence and Ian is still not there so I went to the bedroom after telling the maids and butlers that Ian would be late so they can rest since they are waiting for us.

"Ash, how many times do I have to tell you that you can't stay here?" I said after I lit up the lights as I prepare a bath since I want to take a bath longer. 

'It's because you didn't let me come with you,' He said since he was laying on my bed with his wolf form when I looked at him. 

"Geez, I am sorry since I don't have an extra invitation for you, and Ian told me that it has a magical barrier that restraints magical beasts since they are auctioning stones and so on," I said to him, that's why I didn't take him.

'I can still wait outside,' He said while still laying on my bed comfortably.

"That's a bad idea. What if someone saw you and want to auction you instead," I said since I heard one of the audiences that they are auctioning magical animals, too.

'I'll just kill them,' He said casually so I looked at him with a disgusted look since I can imagine that he was grinning with a scary look. Although, he will look scary handsome fellow with his ash color hair with blue highlights, sharp blue-ocean eyes, and pinkish thin lips with his fangs is so d*mn hot not a scary one but he can be scary if he's expression darkened.

"No, don't be so violent," I said as I cover myself with the standing screen(shoji doors) as I went into the bathtub after removing all of my clothes. 

Note: Shoji doors - is a Japanese standing screen.

'You're too kind, Avy,' He said. I just rest my head as I close my eyes since I want to relax since attending the Hunt Ball is exhausting plus a little incident by those black-coats guys.

"It's my nature," I said as I let my hair turn to its original form which is my black long hair for me to wash it too. I do not think my hair will be long beyond my a*s for the past years even if I cut a little by little. I let my hair soak in the water as I submerged in the water for a few seconds and got up.

I did not hear Ash answer so he might be asleep. I got up as I cover myself with a towel and walked into the wardrobe when I passed to the mirror where I can see myself. I examined myself because this was the first time I could see how long my hair look-like with my true hair color and eyes which is unrealistic since this is not my face but it looks so beautiful. My hair is color black as a night that it is dark so as my eyes that are hard to read since it is like as a night without stars that gives me unfamiliarity since I got used to having color brown or light brown my hair as well as my eyes.

"I'm not really used to this look," I said as I chuckled while I was holding the mirror because 'I' am beautiful even though I know myself that this is not me since this body is much better than my body. I changed into new clothes and new bandages as I dry my hair, and I realize that it is hard to dry my hair since it so long but I could do nothing but dry it before I go to sleep. 

"Ash, wake up go back to your room," I said to Ash as I woke him up after I combed and my hair was dry. He moved before he looked at me and he was stunned looking at me so I tapped him.

"Faster, go back to your room," I said since I heard that someone came and that is definitely Ian from the Hunt Ball so I can't let him see that Ash is sleeping here again. I remember Ian and I talking then so I immediately pushed him from the bed so he fell.

'You don't have to push me so hard,' He said as he gets up because he fell and he looked at me badly so I feel bad.

"I'm sorry, Ash but you need to go back to your room now," I said as I pushed him near the door but when I am about to open the door I heard some footsteps approaching it.

"Ash, go out through the windows! Faster!" I whispered to him as I immediately open the windows so he also came out immediately so I closed it immediately and adjusted the curtain as I jump off on my bed.

*knock knock*

"Avy, are you still awake?" He said after he knocks so I got up and messed up my hair to look like I just woke up before I opened the door.

"What it is Ian?" I said as I rubbed my eyes as I opened the door.

"Why a--"
